Then, edit your hosts file to match the domains.. say I am working on my own web site, oldirtyhaddad.com (shameless plug). I have set up my hosts file to recognize oldirtyhaddad and it gets served up locally. I have one of these for each of the 20 sites that I maintain. I also have this set up for phpMyAdmin. (accessed by typing dbadmin).

Hi,
I know this must be really obvious to many of you, but I have been unable to
configure DW (using [preferences] or [site->edit]) so that it will execute a
php script from a <form action="foo.php"...> tag. When the submit button is
clicked the php file is displayed, rather than executed.
Here's the HTML code of the submit button form:
<form action="update_river_measurements.php" method="post" name="form1" target="mainFrame"> <select name="interval_period"> <option>Select interval</option> <option value="2">2 days</option> <option value="4">4 days</option> <option value="8">8 days</option> <option value="31">31 days</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Update Database"> </form>
When the [Update Database] button is clicked, the file specified by the action parameter is displayed, rather than executed.
My dev machine is a Windows XP system with Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed.
I have confirmed that my Apache-PHP configuration is correctly configured.
For example, PHP correctly executes the script when I pass
"update_river_measurements.php" to IExplore.exe from the command line. Also,
when I upload these local files to my ISP, the PHP also executes correctly.
Any suggestions as to how to get DW to execute these files would be appreciated.
Cheers,

I'm not sure that dreamweaver will execute them.
If you've got Apache/PHP setup, just go to http://localhost/your_script.php in your browser to test them out, no need to use the command line to pass to a browser.
